If the ratio of the present age of Anusha to the present age of Vishnu is 8:5 and the sum of their present ages is 78 years, find the present age of Vishnu.
30 years
Let the present ages of Anusha and Vishnu be 8x and 5x respectively.
8x + 5x = 78 => 13x = 78 => x = 6.
Vishnu's present age = 5x = 5 x 6 = 30 years.
Hence, this is the correct answer.
